< Fweny 17 >
1 Eka achiel kuom malaike abiriyo mane nigi tewni abiriyo nobiro ira, mowachona niya; “Bi mondo anyisi kum mar jachode maduongʼ mobet ewi pige mangʼeny.
Then one of the seven angels who were carrying the seven bowls came and spoke to me. "Come with me," he said, "and I will show you the doom of the great Harlot who sits upon many waters.
2 En ema ruodhi mag piny noterore kode, kendo ji duto modak e piny bende osemadho divai mar terruokne mi omer.”
The kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication."
3 Bangʼe Roho noyudha kendo malaika nokawa motera e thim. Mana gikanyono naneno dhako moro koidho ondiek malich makwar, ma dende duto nochadhore gi nyinge mag ayany, kendo ne en gi wiye abiriyo kod tunge apar.
So he carried me away in the Spirit into a desert, and there I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet-colored Wild Beast which was covered with names of blasphemy and had seven heads and ten horns.
4 Dhakono norwakore gi lewni maralik gi makwar, kendo nolichore gi dhahabu kod kite mabeyo ma nengogi tek gi lulu. To notingʼo kikombe mar dhahabu e lwete, mopongʼ gi gik makwero kod timbe mochido mag terruokne.
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and was brilliantly attired with gold and jewels and pearls. She held in her hand a cup of gold, full of abominations, and she gave filthy indications of her fornication.
5 Kendo nying mane ondik e lela wangʼe ne en gima iwuoro: Babulon maduongʼ Min jochode duto kendo min gik makwero mag piny.
And on her forehead was a name written: "I am a symbol of great Babylon, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth."
6 Bende ne aneno dhakono komer gi remb jomaler mag Nyasaye, remb jogo mane ohulo ni Yesu e Ruoth. Kane anene ne awuoro ahinya.
And I saw the woman drinking herself drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And when I saw her I was filled with utter astonishment.
7 Eka malaika cha nopenja niya, “Angʼo miwuoro kamano? Abiro nyisi tiend wach mopondo mar dhakono kod mar ondiek malich moidho gi wiye abiriyo kod tunge apar.
Then the angel said to me, "Why are you so astonished? I will explain to you the secret meaning of the woman and of the seven-headed, ten-horned Wild Beast which carries her.
8 Ondiek malich mane inenono, yande nitie, to tinde oonge kendo obiro wuok oa e bur matut maonge gikone ka odhiyo e kar kethruokne. Ji duto modak e piny, ma nyingegi ok ondiki e kitap ngima nyaka aa chakruok mar piny nowuor ka gineno ondiek malichno, nikech yande entie to tinde oonge, to nochak oduogi kendo. (Abyssos )
"The Wild Beast which you have seen was, and is not, and yet is destined to re-ascend, before long, out of the bottomless pit and go his way into perdition. And the inhabitants of the earth will be filled with amazement--all whose names are not in the Book of Life, having been recorded there ever since the creation of the world--when they see the Wild Beast: because he was, and is not, and yet is to come. (Abyssos )
9 “Ngʼeyo tiend wachni dwaro paro matut man-gi rieko. Wiye abiriyogo gin gode abiriyo ma dhakono obetie.
Here is scope for the exercise of a mind that has wisdom! The seven heads are the seven hills on which the woman sits.
10 To bende gin ruodhi abiriyo. Ma abich kuomgi osepodho, to achiel pod nitie, to machielo pod ok obiro; to ka obiro to nobedi kuom thuolo matin.
And they are seven kings: five of them have fallen, and the one is still reigning. The seventh has not yet come, but when he comes he must continue for a short time.
11 Ondiek malichno ma yande nitie, to tinde onge, en ruoth mar aboro. Bende en achiel kuom ruodhi abiriyogo, kendo odhiyo e kar kethruokne.
And the Wild Beast which once existed but does not now exist--he is an eighth king and yet is one of the seven and he goes his way into perdition.
12 “Tunge apargo mane ineno, gin ruodhi apar mapok oyudo pinyruoth to ibiro miyogi teko mar locho kuom sa achiel kende, kaka ruodhi kaachiel gi ondiek malichno.
"And the ten horns which you have seen are ten kings who have not yet come to the throne, but for a single hour they are to receive authority as kings along with the Wild Beast.
13 Gin duto gin gi paro achiel kendo ginichiw tekogi kod lochgi ni ondiek malichno.
They have one common policy, and they are to give their power and authority to the Wild Beast.
14 Giniked gi Nyarombo, to Nyarombo nologi nikech en e Jaloch mar joloch, kendo Ruoth mar ruodhi, to jogo mane obed kode, gin joge moluongi, joma oyier gi jogo maluwe gadiera.”
They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb will triumph over them; for He is Lord of lords and King of kings. And those who accompany Him--called, as they are, and chosen, and faithful--shall share in the victory."
15 Eka malaikano nowachona niya, “Pigego mane ineno ma dhako ma jachode obedoe, gin ji gi ogendini mangʼeny kod dhout pinje gi joma wacho dhok mopogore opogore.
He also said to me, "The waters which you have seen, on which the Harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes, nations and languages.
16 To ondiek malichno gi tunge apargo mane ineno biro bedo mager kod dhakono ma jachode. Ginihinye kagitieke kendo weye duk; ginicham ringre, kendo giniwangʼe duto gi mach.
And the ten horns that you have seen--and the Wild Beast--these will hate the Harlot, and they will cause her to be laid waste and will strip her bare. They will eat her flesh, and burn her up with fire.
17 Nimar Nyasaye oseketo e chunygi mondo gitim gima odwaro ka gimiyo ondiek lochgi mondo olochi, nyaka wach Nyasaye chopi.
For God has put it into their hearts to carry out His purpose, and to carry out a common purpose and to give their kingdom to the Wild Beast until God's words have come to pass.
18 Dhakono mane ineno en e dala maduongʼ man-gi loch kuom ruodhi mag piny.”
And the woman whom you have seen is the great city which has kingly power over the kings of the earth."
